I use craft lobby black cherry and its very strong. I have to mix with vanilla to calm it down a bit. But I love it.

Yea, the whole process is in the crockpot. I use the CPHP method and its easier to me. But CP looks a whole lot better. sometimes anyway

Craftlobby has a great red apple. Its smells like Y type mac apple. A true crisp red apple.

Beautiful, I especially like the blue

I got mine from harbor freight, it was 9.95.

OMG thats sounds wonderful. I may try that one tonight

I have a coffee scent that will eventually start to bubble the plastic but not necessarily weep but the packaging looks horrible. I no longer use straight coffee scents in clamshells.

Same here about two years and I dont miss a thing:yay:

I use Lexmark 530dn. I use to have hp 2605dn but exchanged it for the lexmark.

Sorry youre having those problems but no one in their right mind would pass along their ssn.:tiptoe:

I second that. I purchased one last year and it does a great job.

Those are nice and so upscale.

I think its mostly ignorance is the area of MO. If you do research in your local library or extensively on the net you will that mo is not harmful and in fact one of the best moisturizers out there. Most of the negative stuff you comes from researchers of manufacturers trying to up-play their products and downgrade someone elses. It does not clog pores, the molecules are too large to penetrate the skin. It just lays on the skin and inhibit moisture from leaving your skin, keeping your skin feeling very soft. Some people give opinions based on what they heard and not what they know. When I started my biz the first thing I did was research whatever I was adding to my products. Don't believe the hype. Don't believe everything you read on here or anywhere else. Read and know for yourself.

Well I actually like the way the smell. Pretty strong to me especially their tarts. But yes more pricey. I love my candles but I can't take away from YC or any other brand that are great sellers. Meaning, I love mine and theirs and I don't feel the need to diss theirs because of this that or the other. (theirs=any brand).

I love pears and petals from CS

No, I did not add the fragrance until it was finished and it was already chocolate brown colored. Thats the reason I chose that particular fragrance because of the color of the soap. The GM soap does well if I CP but just turns brown when I cphp. My question mainly is this, Does it turn this way in all HP processes? Not cp. I have cp gm down packed but cphp is kicking my tail because of the color. Maybe I will try adding after the cooking process before I mold and see how that works. Thanks ladies.

Is there a way to use goatmilks in CPHP without it turning chocolate brown? Can I use it after the cooking process? I love everything about the soap except the color. I had to scent it fudge brownie because it was chocolate colored soap. Will coconut milk behave the same way? Or do I have to stick with CP method when dealing with milks. Yes the milk was frozen.

Craftlobby has a good Red apple smells like Mac to me. ALso AH/RE has a great blueberry muffin.

I don't care for TC because the oils I received all smelled the same (chemically or fuelly). I emailed them concerning the problem and no one would respond. But all is well, it was only samples so I just through all 10 bottles in the garbage and chalked it up to a lesson learned. But I would not expect for them to cancel my order after it has been placed or any company for that matter (especially if I didn't like their oils anyway, and to order from them again).

MSM is great. I also use it as part of my daily supplement (vitamin). Its very bitter so I only add 1/2 tbls to juice or something but not water. In creams, it is wonderful. But remember it is transdermal; meaning its a carrier. So whatever you add to your product know that it is also being absorbed into your body completely. So make sure you pay attention to what products you add to your creams, know the benefits or dangers.

Normally, I wait til the morning to cut it. But you can cut as soon as it cools (COMPLETELY). I love CPHP, I just wish I could do goatsmilk without it turning dark brown.

I use Soy wax from Craftlobby but it does not state what type of wax it is other than 117 or 125. But its a very hard soy wax. Patty said its similiar to 416. Its ok, it looks funky after you burn it though. Also, I like Ezsoy from BCN.

Also, Hobby Lobby and Michaels carry those type products if you want to shop around locally.

I was wondering the same thing about TCS lotion bases. How well does it hold scent and colors? Is it very thick? Can I add distilled water or Aloe Juice to it and still have a nice consistency? I think someone said the body splash is the same as WSP luxury mist which I have and love.

Yea I use those as well for my sets. I also like the two piece warmer they have.
